Bull ****. There simply is no end to digital moronic claims and
silly statements...

You can argue all you like in my kill file.

Good grief. I can see why people leave this place in droves. Last time I
checked my darkroom was loaded full of digital equipment, timers,
densitometers, color computers all 20 years old the most recent addition is
a computer. Yawn. So long everybody.


Yawn...Digital imaging means photoelectric, not densitometers.
One should think before making fallacious statements. Densitometers
are not used in digital imaging nor is my Gralab digital timer...

Data point: in the latest Costco catalog (no, I'm not a member, it's someone
else's), out of their offering of 36 cameras, only *one* is not digital. (It's
a Konica Minolta Maxxum 70 SLR.) Can you say "nails in the coffin"?

DISCLAIMER: I'm no fan of digital. I love "traditional" wet photography. I
love old cameras. But I also try to recognize reality.


Oh gee, what will you do? Maybe you should just go digital.


Ah, yes, I hear you saying that out of pure spite. Quite your style, that.

But my friend, don't you realize that when that big wave comes and smashes
everything that's not digital to smithereens, that all of us who like
darkroom-type photography will suffer? Including you?

No thank you. I won't go digital, not just yet.

I rue this trend the
same way I rue the results of the recent election.


Like you voted for the democrats (not.)


No, I did not. What of it? (Hint: I didn't vote for the guy who won either.)

I vote for democrats, not necessarily Democrats.

Oh, the sky is falling the sky is falling! Dear me, what shall
we do? "Nothing," saith seer David, "It's like rape, just lay
back and enjoy it."

Nothing is inevitable, only what we allow. And at least I don't
roll over and play dead. Digital lies and then piggy backs
itself on film photography in order to gain market share. I've
never met a digital geek who didn't utter complete fallacies
while knowing absolutely nothing about actual photographic processes,
including digital processes. They're so full of digital spin and
marketing B.S. attacking film (and have been since day one) it's
hard to tell where one lie ends and another begins. "Digital is
film" (bull ****); "digital kills film resolution" (bull ****);
"digital is as archival as film" (bull ****); "digital has better
color (bull ****); etc. etc. etc. Digital is about stock options,
not photography.

Apparently what you can't stand is when someone actually stands up
to the lies...

No thank you. I won't go digital, not just yet.


Who cares?

I rue this trend the
same way I rue the results of the recent election.

Yes, that about says it all re your skewed perspectives.
If it weren't for narcissistic self serving Nader, Gore would
have won the electorial college in 2000 and Bush would not
have been around to run in 2004 and make gay marriage an
issue. Any Bush presidency is a Nader victory.

Why is it that every time, I get so sick of the digital/darkroom
arguement that I filter the thread, you guys need to start it up again
under a different thread name.

Enough already
